SKI OPTIONs 2018

At Fast Trax, our goal is to use our experience and knowledge to help you find what you need to enjoy your time on snow. We add value to our products by providing exceptional service to fit you properly and to simplify equipment and waxing. We are a small shop and focus exclusively on equipment made for well groomed trails in the following three categories of skiing for both classic and skate skiing for both the junior and adult skier.

Fast Trax Options

Ski Ready Service
Each pair of new skis purchased from our shop comes with the following;

• Hot Box or Base Oil
• Glide Wax
• Base Binder (classic skis)
• Binding Mount
• Ski Straps

Ski Selection
Once we have determined which category of ski suits your needs we begin the selection process based on your height and weight picking the appropriate skis from our ski rack. Once we have made our initial selections we have you move into our fitting room where we determine which ski is best for you. 

Ski Service 
Once we we have the correct ski for you there is a two day turn around to have your skis mounted with bindings and placed in the hot box over night with a soft glide wax. In the morning we remove the skis from the hot box and cap the skis with a low flour universal glide wax.

For classic skis the grip zone is marked with permanent marker, sanded and base binder is applied so when you pick up your skis they are ready to enjoy the great outdoors. All you will need to do is apply the correct grip wax when going classic skiing.

For out of town customers and / or for customers who wish to take their skis home the same day we have a new service whereby we saturate the bases with Rex Base Oil 2.0 and then provide a Cold wax application using Master Wax which saves time with wax application and provides the same overall result.

Follow Up Service
Waxing can be a chore so we offer several options for ski services and suggest you bring your skis into the shop every two to three weeks through the winter to have your skis cleaned and re-glide waxed for optimal performance.
